Received this joke today from a friend in America. At least I think it's a joke!
Yes, I'm tired. For several years I've been blaming it on getting older,
lack of sleep, weekend projects, stale office air, poor nutrition, carrying
extra pounds, raising a family, recent colds, and a dozen other reasons that
make you wonder why life is getting rough. .
But now I found out what's really happening! I'm tired because I'm
overworked. The population of the USA reached 300 million last October. 79
million of the populations are retired. That leaves 221 million to do the
work. There are 19 million toddlers and 76 million students in schools,
which leave 126 million to do the work. Of that total, 21 million are
unemployed leaving 105 million to do the work.
Then you take away 34 million in hospitals and that leaves 71 million to do
the work. 43 million are in prisons and that's 28 million left to do the
work. Now take away 14,683,468 federal, 5,344,722 state and 5,370,743 city
workers who run our government and you're left with 2,601,067 to do the
work. Take away the 2,601,065 people in the armed forces and that leaves
just two people to do the work - You and Me! And you're just sitting there
reading this!
No wonder I'm tired!!!
